The group messaging app was launched by Google only 10 months ago, promising a new way for groups of friends to have chats around particular topics.
The app stitched together a slew of Google services such as YouTube, Search, and Chrome, allowing users to easily share video and other information about a topic — say, a new movie — without having to jump between apps, cutting and pasting relevant links and so forth.
But Spaces will be no more. Google announced on Friday that Spaces will be shut down on April 17. And on March 3, Spaces will become "read only," meaning you won't be able to use the app for anything other than glancing at your old conversations with friends.
